Yep. I got hit by a ricochet from a .177 caliber Crossman pellet rifle. It hit me about a quarter inch (forehead), above my right eye. It didn't hurt, but it scared the poop out of me.
Also, when I was 14 years old (late 60's), I got shot point blank in the right eye with a crossman BB gun. A buddy & I were out shooting our new BB guns we got for Christmas. My buddy's 5 year old brother was with us. I leaned my gun (cocked, with the safety off), against a fallen tree while I answered nature's call. The little guy picked up my gun, pointed it directly in my face, pulled the trigger, and said, BANG!
The good Lord was with me that day. The BB hit me directly in my right eye, but didn't penetrate it. It glanced off and rested in my eyelid.
The doctor removed it with a magnetic needle, told me how lucky I was, and told my dad, QUOTE: "Two things that should have never been invented are BB guns and motorcycles", UNQUOTE:
So yeah, I've been hit twice. Both were stupid mistakes on my part.
